Other than travel (car rental, visas etc) or KYC from banks, what other sites do this? I haven't experienced this much in Europe.

- benterix 3y agoFacebook demands this if someone else reports your account as not using your real name.

It's not KYC I mind as much as having to give them a residential address. I don't want that leaked across the internet. I hate giving out a residential address. The government can have it, I don't care so much about that, but private companies don't need to know where I sleep to know who I am. What if some random sentence I say on the internet becomes the subject of a death threat? What if a startup I found becomes hated by a small group of armed individuals? I'm not a billionaire and don't have the $ for 24/7 security. I really don't anyone to be able to just look up where I sleep. Social security number and some kind of ID number (license, passport) should really be more than enough for KYC purposes.
